Notes

How-to-Use:
Athletes: This should definitely be in your weekly rotation! Easy - get your omega-3's and you can customize the amount of carbohydrates depending on your training. Grinding out all the miles? Use 2-3 cups of rice. Taking some time off to let an injury heal? Downgrade that amount of rice to whatever feels right. Same goes for feeding a house full of people with different nutrition needs. Everyone can build their own.
Healthy Eating: This is a solid make ahead meal for your weekly meal prep. Double the recipe and have lunches ready for Monday-Thursday. Customize the serving based on your nutrition needs that week.
Kids: The likelihood of kids trying a food seems to be exponentially better when there is a dip involved. Save some sauce for them and encourage them to dip away. We also find they eat their veggies better if we let them use their fingers - call us neanderthals.
Other Thoughts:
  • Using the foil allows for the fastest clean up ever. The sugar in the sauce starts to caramelize which is a mess to scrub off baking sheets, so use the foil.
  • If you want to make this for more than 2 people, you can add another piece of fish. If you want to add more veggies AND fish, I would recommend using two trays or the veggies are too crowded to cook well.
  • Feel free to mix up the vegetables, but remember - they need to be quicker cooking vegetables or they won't get cooked through. (Zucchini, yellow squash, edamame, asparagus, green beans would all work too)
